Summary, etc |
"Has the World Wide Web evolved into a new life form? The author of this book, Philip Tetlow, presents an argument that it indeed has." "Drawing from theories originating in the natural sciences, mathematics, and information technology, The Web's Awake explores how the continued growth and increasing complexity of the Web are quickly outstripping our capability to control it. In other words, the Web has quite literally taken on a life of its own." "The book examines a number of emergent characteristics and behaviors of the Web that have not been programmed, but rather have evolved. As the number and strength of these new Web characteristics and behaviors continue to increase, the author argues that the Web should be considered a living organism in its own right, a new post-human species consisting of a single member." |
